THE TIMES
An essential part of London's Christmas calendar
TIME OUT
The stage version of Raymond Briggs' much-loved book continues to delight children everywhere as it returns this Christmas, in its tenth anniversary of performing at the Peacock Theatre and the 25th anniversary of the animated film version.
One winter morning a little boy named James wakes up to find that everything outside has turned snow-white. Overjoyed, James rushes downstairs and into the garden, where he begins to build a snowman. James sleeps fitfully, and at midnight he wakes up and decides to check on his snowman. He opens the back door... he can't believe his eyes... The snowman has come to life! James finds himself face to face with a smiling snowman, who with a polite doff of his hat introduces himself and marks the beginning of magical friendship and marvellous adventure
Watch spellbound as The Snowman and James literally fly through the night sky above you before escaping the clutches of the evil Jack Frost, before partying with Father Christmas and snowy friends including those comical penguins!
Suitable for all children aged two and upwards, this is a captivating mix of dance, stagecraft and music. Featuring a live orchestra, it is the perfect introduction to dance for the very young.
